Your questions about floor joint sealing in Tobermory
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Tobermory?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Tobermory in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tobermory is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Tobermory
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
For a place like Tobermory, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Tobermory need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
When to call us in Tobermory
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tobermory
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Floor joint sealing around Tobermory
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Tobermory High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
